IV. The Liturgical Celebration of the Eucharist
1346
The liturgy of the Eucharist unfolds according to a fundamental structure which
has been preserved throughout the centuries down to our own day. It displays
two great parts that form a fundamental unity:
– the gathering, the liturgy of the Word, with readings, homily and general
intercessions;
– the liturgy of the Eucharist, with the presentation of the bread and wine,
the consecratory thanksgiving, and communion.
The liturgy of the Word and liturgy of the Eucharist together form “one
single act of worship”;170 The Eucharistic table set for us is the
table both of the Word of God and of the Body of the Lord.171
